There is a super Holiday special DR.WHO, (Matt Smith), finds himself in WWII England with a young Widow and her two children.. The trailer makes me think two things: Nicole Kidman and her movie The Others (2001, Cruise/Wagner Productions), and an earlier Chronicles of Narnia. Oh yeah what looks like the Lewis Chessmen make an appearance
Christmas Day, 9 PM EASTERN On BBC America
The whole day is a DR WHO marathon!
THere is a GET GLUE Sticker for this!
Premiering this Christmas only on BBC America. Evacuated to a house in Dorset from war-torn London, Madge Arwell and her two children, Lily and Cyril, are greeted by a madcap caretaker whose mysterious Christmas gift leads them into a magical wintry world. BBC YOUTUBE
THE DOCTOR, THE WIDOW AND THE WARDROBE, it's Christmas Eve, 1938, when Madge Arwell comes to the aid of an injured Spaceman Angel as she cycles home. He promises to repay her kindness -- all she has to do is make a wish.
Three years later, a devastated Madge escapes war-torn London with her two children for a dilapidated house in Dorset. She is crippled with grief at the news her husband has been lost over the channel, but determined to give Lily and Cyril the best Christmas ever. The Arwells are surprised to be greeted by a madcap caretaker whose mysterious Christmas gift leads them into a magical wintry world. Here, Madge will learn how to be braver than she ever thought possible. And that wishes can come true... BBC on YOUTUBE
